What the lawyer hopefully learned.

I am so very sorry this lawyer went through the trauma of not making partner. Granted, he worked so hard for such a long time. However, it seemed like he did not stop to examine what his bosses wanted from him. Were his goals aligned with the mission of his law firm? Did he behave in ways that might have offended a senior partner? I am the daughter of a lawyer, and I grew up hearing these questions around the dinner table. I WISH I had gone to law school, but my father's success intimidated me!

very true

This outstanding video provides a beautiful reason that rings true about our recital of Vidui on Yom Kippur. Has-hem does care about every nuance of our actions, and our recital of vidui ten times takes us more in depth each time into the nuance of our negative actions and causes of our negative actions.

This video was excellent! Perhaps the lesson this associate learned was that one should work smarter as opposed to working harder. Was he treated shabbily by the senior partners? Of course he was. However, if he learned something from this traumatic experience then it was not wasted. Sometimes we operate according to what we THINK our bosses, spouses, etc. want without checking to see if our perceptions are accurate. Yes, in the workplace we always need to see if what we are doing is in alignment with what our boss wants us to be doing.

and G-d does care

And to add on in response to Rahel's comment, G-d does care, and He did care about that young lawyer, but we just dont know the whole story bec Charlie Harary was only bringing in a tiny bit of the mans story to teach us a lesson, but you are right that it could seem like G-d is leading him on for 10 yrs for nothing, but actually G-d cares about him and every person more than we can ever imagine, and there is a reason that man had to go though that, we dont know the reason, maybe he learnt the valuable lesson of life from it which later on in life helped him out, or maybe something else good came from it. we dont know. but garanteed there was a reason, G-d is taking care of every single one of His children

What's the point here -- that God is better than an exploitative law firm?

As a religious person, I have to say that this video doesn't work for me. What's the point -- that God is better than an exploitative law firm? That we need to be looking over our shoulders at work to make sure that we're getting feedback so that we don't find ourselves sacrificing our lives in the workplace for nothing?
I found the story disturbing, not inspiring. I found myself wondering what happened to the young lawyer who had worked so hard, sacrificing a decade of his life, with only a pink slip as his reward. I realize that life gives no guarantees and that we have free choice -- but if God cares so much about what we do, couldn't He somehow have protected this young man from giving up ten years of his life for nothing? (Or perhaps the point is that the young lawyer should have bailed when he realized that he wasn't getting any feedback -- a lesson that no one bothered to teach him until it was too late?

sorry you missed the point

The point was just as an "exploitive"'law firm may test the ones it really cares about, the analogy is that God tests us and spends time with us- because he cares ( though unlike an exploitive law firm, he cares about ALL of us). It was just an analogy.

Do not question G-d because you cannot see the big picture.

Don't ask why on this video 'why didn't G-d help this guy if he really cares about all of the nuances of his life'. Just because you can't see why that had to happen to him, yyou aren't seeing the big picture. Ultimately, whatever happens to him, you, or anyone else is for that person's own good.

A Father's love

Dear Charlie, this video is phenomenal. I was so touched by your message that I watched it 3 times. We refer to G-d as our Father in several of our prayers, especially now that we say "Avinu Malkaynu", "Our Father Our King". G-d loves us as a parent, so is always looking to help us do better. G-d takes pride in our accomplishments as much or more than any parent does, because G-d gave us the tools and the raw materials to accomplish everything. For Yom Kippur, G-d gave us the unique opportunity to ask and receive forgiveness for all our sins, and covers everything. We even have the opportunity to ask several times over, in case our minds were wandering or we didn't give it the right "oomph" before. Those things that we ask forgiveness for that we feel we didn't, do serve a purpose. We may not realize that we did something wrong, or perhaps someone else did the wrong and if we don't stop them or at least try. We take some of the responsibility. Also, the reason we may not have done the wrong, is because we weren't challenged by it. Perhaps by asking forgiveness in advance, G-d will have mercy on us and not provide it as a challenge in the future. After all, we're admitting that it exists, and therefore we can be tempted by it. As far as the associate that didn't get the partnership, you can't help but feel sorry for him. But we really don't know the whole story either. Sometimes people ignore messages that are right in front of their faces, because they don't want to hear it. So unless you were privy to all the correspondence that poor guy had with his superiors in the law firm, it's unfair to paint them in such a derogatory light. The same is true for non-believers. They may get bonuses for things they do, but they're missing the messages that are put right in front of their faces. How sad for them that they don't experience that closeness with G-d, their Father at least once a year. He is constantly giving us messages, we just have to know how to look for them.

The main point this video got across to me was that the viduy services aren't "for God" they are for us. God already knows what we think and knows what we are truly sorry for and regret. What we have to know is that God isn't a tyrant who will kill us unless we beg for mercy, he is like a coach who wants to help us improve in every way possible. And the best way for us to improve is to realize our flaws and to build in them to do better the next time around.

Don't really see it that way

Well, I'm sorry, but to me this sounds pretty far-fetched. I mean it's nice to have a positive and constructive approach, regardless of whether it is the confessing of sins on Yom Kippur or just anything else we do pertaining to our religous belief. But this really seems to me a bit too liberal an interpretation. I would't compare g'd with a law firm. Also,forgive me for saying this, I always find it to be a bit presumptious, when people assume a right to tell us what exactly it is that g'd thinks or what he intends by one thing or another. How do they know? G'd is a big mystery and unless he tells us himself in an explicit way I cannot take other peoples (sometimes very free) interpretations as a guiding line.

Elana,
October 5, 2011 11:02 PM

Mystery or No Mr. Harary helps make it clearer for me

Oskar:
I thought just the opposite of you! I thought that the law firm approach was a wonderful way of Mr. Harary to bring hard concepts down to us. I'm in a difficult place currently, so I really appreciate his videos for helping me bring g-d closer into my life. G-d is a mystery...but Mr. Harary helps make it more real for me.

more than specks in the universe

My small life is telling me something every single day, because I experience the constant connects, or what we call astonishment of story, aka coincidence. Everything "mirrors" for me with echoic connects and I keep a Diary that is by now, off the charts. And one day I want to watch the movie, because I cannot get it all down on paper, though I try.
It began as a vow that given the kind of massive coincidence that felled me a long time ago, that could NOT be random, I could prove the existence of G_d by way of a story, on paper. Well it has happened, and I have over eleven years of story, that is a daily account of something I call the "hit parade", and this has caused me to go very deep, in profound ways.
I know we're all in this together, and I know we are ALL immensely important. Remember that phrase, we are co-creating the universe? Well, it is totally true.
Maybe one day, when G_d stops hiding this record, and allows me to truly go aloud, because that's the mandate, the man date, then others will read a story that does deeply involve us all and it says, we are more connected to each other than we EVER thought possible.
Until then, I continue to write, to put down my heart and soul on the line, as I do, constantly in Jewish and other sites.
As to Yom Kippur, it's about atonement, and that is also At One Ment. G_d is the Master Storyteller!

October 4, 2011 5:38 PM

gibberish....not Jewish

I'm sorry to critisize Ruth, but I must... your comments are
filled with new-age and pagen rubbish..I recognize it, because I used to be there myself, untill I met the Lord.
the God who revealed himself through the Bible..You are not God and He is not you. You are not co-creator with God, you are His creation. It's your responsibility to know him as He is, not how you imagine him to be. So please, pick up your bible and read it, and pay no attention to those who twist the words of God to their own destruction.

Shulamis Mallet,
October 6, 2011 5:27 AM

Joel, no offense, but you're being harsh

Ruth, I've read your comments often and find your unique perspective intriguing. I'm orthodox and don't find what you say necessarily against the Torah. I do, however feel that you spend too much time trying to prove G-d's existence. G-d just is. If you find extra meaning in words, it's because G-d provided us with the words, so of course they're multidimensional. There already is a record of G-d's miracles, it's called the Torah. Anything that happens in our world today is already inscribed in the Torah, because the Torah is a blueprint of our world. Don't spend so much time trying to prove, spend that time instead celebrating the existence of a G-d that loves us so much, that He shows those that care, His existence everyday. G-d put us on this Earth to care for it, so with every act that we do towards that goal, G-d celebrates and does something in return. You can call it recreation or miracles, but by whatever name you call it, it's G-d letting us know that He's here, with us, all the time. Study the Torah and revel in this magnificent world that He gave us, all the gifts that He gave us, including Shabbos. Learn more about our religion and find ways to thank G-d for all that He gives us. There are people that would tell you that I could share your bat house (though I personally prefer the Bat Cave), don't worry so much about them. In fact, laugh with them. Don't push your beliefs in their faces, either. Sit back and enjoy the ride. Don't take life so seriously, you'll lose the joy. G-d loves it when we laugh, so when you see a miracle, laugh and say thank you to a G-d that allows you to see a little extra. I wish you all the best and a happy and healthy New Year. Your friend, Shulamis

What about the rest of us?

What if you are a secular, agnostic, or maybe atheist Jew (hopefully proudly so, and involved)? That's the case, by most accounts, with most Jews in the world today.
In that case, such a message, although intricately and masterfully conceived and presented, still sounds somewhat hollow and is very difficult to relate to, beyond its undisputed psychological and human insights. That is precisely because Mr. Harari treats God not as an abstract entity which each of us is free to interpret according to our own liking and intuition, but as a real, almost tangible participant in the minutiae our daily lives. In doing so, does he really reach to the hearts and souls of the majority of us?

Jewish Mom,
October 4, 2011 3:10 PM

That IS the message!

The message truly is that yes, G-d is not n abstract entity - he loves us, takes a deep interest in each and every one of us and is a participant in the minutiae of our daily lives. If you try communicating with Him and keep your eyes (and heart) open, it will become obvious to you that this is true without a shadow of a doubt. Try it! Try talking to Him about the small things and see how He responds. This message can reach the hearts and souls of whoever is willing to hear it. There is no one who walks this earth without potential for greater spirituality and a totally personal connection with G-d.

ADJUSTED ENDING

Emotion-packed powerful message, but I wish you would have carefully thought out the ending. ...."so we can believe in ourselves?" Is this really the prominent singular message? Or should it be adjusted as follows: " ... .. we will strengthen ourselves by establishing a strong belief in and connection to G-d. ' After all, to receive blessings (true pleasure) we must love ourselves, love each other, love life, and love G-d. This involves first and foremost the development of a strong, intimate, and reciprocal connection with the Creator of the universe.

BELIEVING

Is to believe in myself, not to believe in God: Creator of you and me? He is the One who designed us, in love and with love. The ultimate purpose is to have a one-on-one loving relationship with God. It is by this/through this, that others see and desire God- that they may too flow, in love, with our beautiful, loving, LORD. People watch us. And then should they see God's love, they desire.
